Programmable rotation (ROT, AROT, RPL)
The workpiece coordinate system can be rotated in space with the ROT/AROT statements. The
statements refer exclusively to the programmable frame $P_PFRAME.
Syntax
ROT <1st GeoAx><angle> <2nd GeoAx><angle> <3rd GeoAx><angle>
ROT RPL=<angle>
AROT <1st GeoAx><angle> <2nd GeoAx><angle> <3rd GeoAx><angle>
AROT RPL=<angle>
Note
The rotations of the workpiece coordinate system are performed via Euler angles.
Meaning
ROT:
AROT:
<nth GeoAx>:
316
Absolute rotation
Reference
Programmable frame $P_PFRAME
frame:
Reference point: Zero point of the current workpiece coordinate system set
with G54 ... G57, G505 ... G599
Additive rotation
Reference
Programmable frame $P_PFRAME
frame:
Reference point: Zero point of the current workpiece coordinate system set
with G54 ... G57, G505 ... G599
Identifier of the nth geometry axis around which rotation is to be performed with the
specified angle.
The value 0° is implicitly set as angle of rotation for a geometry axis that has not
been programmed.
